New limited edition reissue in red and black vinyl of the original Metal Urbain LP "Les Hommes Morts sont Dangereux" from1980, includes the LP + the bonus vinyl single 7" + free CD in mini-sleeve featuring all the tracks !

The sound. The clothes. The infernal rythm-box. The furious guitars. The screaming synths. The extremist lyrics. They had it all. They first appeared in 1976, and flyed through the dark skies of french rock'n'roll like a meteor, demolishing everything in their way. Then they disappeared into darkness, sucked into oblivion by the intelligentia and the indifference of the music industry. Metal Urbain. Suicide teaming up with the Stooges, at the crossroads of Kraftwerk and Gene Vincent.

Never in the history of french rock'n'roll have there been a band as phenomenal and visionary as Metal Urbain. First band on Rough Trade label. Praised by Henry Rollins, Robert Smith, Steve Albini, Mike Watt and Maurice Dantec. The first ever french band to be internationaly known. Still sounding as modern today as 34 years ago...

They survived in the mind of the fans, like remains of a dream. In death, with post-mortem reissues, (Les Hommes Morts Sont Dangereux, L’Age D’Or, Chef d'Oeuvre, Anthologie 77-79…), they found an ever growing audience.

For all those who discovered Metal Urbain in the good old seventies or early eighties, there's only one Metal Urbain compilation. It's not Chef d'Oeuvre (Seventeen Records), or L'Age d'Or (New Rose Fan Club records). It's Les Hommes Morts sont dangereux, originaly issued on Byzz / Celluloid & Rough Trade in 1981.
